Chapter 0084 – Positive Encounter
The sixth cubicle only had eyes painted on the partition, but not on the walls, which made Chen Ge feel a little strange.
He circled around to the fourth compartment again, and there was no graffiti in the fourth compartment.
”Could it be a prank by the students? But why did they specifically pick the fifth cubicle to paint? This cubicle is neither the last nor the first.”
In order to get to the bottom of the matter, Chen Ge went back to the door of the sixth cubicle, and after hesitating for a moment, he held up his tool hammer and walked in.
The drainage pipes were concentrated in the sixth compartment, and this compartment looked a bit crowded compared to the other ones.
”There’s nothing wrong with it, is there? Do I have to enter the fifth compartment to find something?” Chen Ge looked at the eyes on the partition, raised his hand, and gently touched it.
”It’s indeed painted on, it’s just more frightening to look at.” He locked eyes with the eyes on the partition and looked at them for a long time, “The fourth compartment is normal, and graffiti exists only in the fifth and sixth compartments, and in the center of these two compartments is a wooden board, which has eyes painted on both sides of the board ……”
He vaguely felt that he had caught some clues, and once again reached out and touched one of the eye patterns on the partition, and when his fingers touched one of the eyes at the knee position, Chen Ge’s complexion changed.
”It’s the same as I thought!”
He crouched down and shone the light of his flashlight on the partition.
Where his finger touched, there was a hole exactly the same size as the eye.
The bulkhead was chiseled through a small hole that was hard to spot because it was the same size and shape as the eye, plus it was in the corner itself.
”All the eye graffiti is to hide this one small hole.” Chen Ge looked at the hole in the middle of the partition, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt} human: “Mixing a hole in the eye graffiti, which happened to connect the fifth and sixth compartments, which means that someone had once peeked into the fifth compartment from the sixth compartment with the help of this hole!”
And who would have thought, while going to the bathroom, that there would be an actual eye mixed in with the eye patterns around it.
”The drains are all in the sixth compartment, and by stepping on the pipes, no one outside would be able to spot him through the gap under the compartment; this man has thought it through.” Being spied on without realizing it, this was what made Chen Ge feel the most horrified.
Thinking about the introduction in the side quest, that person was hiding in the fifth compartment waiting for the Red Shadow to come over, in fact, he had probably been observed by the Red Shadow for a long time.
”Now that the secret of the fifth compartment has been cracked, but how is the side quest going to be completed? Do I have to stay in the fifth compartment and wait for the Red Shadow to show up, while later allowing it to peek in the small hole?” Chen Ge waved the tool hammer in his hand, if this really unfolded, he wouldn’t mind giving the other party a hammer to the eyes.
While Chen Ge was pondering how to complete the side quest, the footsteps walking side by side in the hallway sounded once again, and this time they were heading straight for the third floor, and they were fast!
”What’s the situation? They seem to be in more of a hurry than me, is it because I opened the fifth compartment? But that’s not right, I opened the compartment a long time ago, why are they rushing over at this time?”
Before he could think of a result, the footsteps had already appeared on the third floor, Chen Ge was standing in the sixth cubicle at this time, and he only had time to close the door of the cubicle most of the way before the footsteps entered the third floor toilet.
”It’s finally going to be a head-on encounter.”
Chen Ge turned off the flashlight and raised the tool hammer high, but then things developed completely differently from what he had imagined, after the footsteps entered the toilet, they didn’t open the door of the compartments to check them one by one, but instead directly drilled into the fifth compartment.
As the door to the fifth cubicle slowly closed, the toilet suddenly fell silent.
”They’re right next door to me, but isn’t the order wrong? According to the flow of the side quest, it should be me in the fifth cubicle, right?”
The third floor toilet was dead silent, and the owner of the footsteps hadn’t made any noise since entering the fifth cubicle.
After waiting for ten minutes, Chen Ge became more and more curious about the “person” hiding in the fifth cubicle.
He looked at the only small hole in the partition, squatted down, and slowly approached.
The small black hole seemed to have magical powers, Chen Ge moved to the side of the hole and looked inward, his pupils contracted slightly.
There were no blood-filled eyes on the other side of the hole, no red ghostly shadows, only two children who looked to be three or four years old.
A man and a woman were cowering on either side of the pit, they were clutching each other and looked nervous.
”Shouldn’t it be a red shadow? Where did these two children appear from?” Chen Ge retracted his gaze, the two children in the cubicle were completely unrelated to scary in terms of appearance.
”The other side quest Deep Well mentioned a younger brother and sister, and Deep Well is related to Fan Yu, could these two children be Aunt Fan Yu’s son and daughter? But why would they appear here? It feels like the two of them are being chased by something?”
A series of questions appeared in the middle of his mind, Chen Ge waved the tool hammer in his hand, if the opponents were only these two children, he felt that he still had a fighting chance.
”Let’s wait a little longer, it always feels like there will be something else coming.”
The night grew even thicker, and it was unknown when the silence in the third floor toilet was broken as new footsteps came from the corridor.
Chen Ge gently pushed the door of the cubicle open a thin crack as he looked outside, and when the footsteps stopped at the door of the toilet, a faint red shadow was reflected on the tiles of the wall.
”Coming!”
This time Chen Ge waited until the target of the mission, he didn’t dare to utter a single breath, his eyes staring intently in that direction.
The sound of footsteps was clear to the ears as the red shadow entered the third floor toilet.
”Crunch ……”
The door of the first cubicle was pulled open, Chen Ge could vaguely see the red shadow probing into the cubicle along the doorway, and after a long pause in the middle, the red shadow walked towards the second cubicle.
For the first time, Chen Ge felt that the sound of the door panel being pulled open was so ear-piercing. Soon the doors of the second, third, and fourth cubicles were all opened, and the red figure stopped at the door of the fifth cubicle.
After witnessing all of this, Chen Ge’s entire body muscles tensed, his body seemed to be compressed to the extreme like a spring, and he had held his breath.
If he followed the requirements of the side quest, the one who was in the fifth compartment at this moment was himself, and what the red figure was going to do to the fifth compartment later on was what was going to happen to him.
In the silent darkness of the toilet, the red figure grabbed the handle of the fifth compartment and slowly pulled the door panel open.
The room seemed to get darker as the cries and laughter of children came out of the cubicles at the same time, the red figure stood in the doorway and didn’t go in, it looked around and then walked towards the last cubicle.
